Awesome Bar screenshot Get to your favorite sites quickly – even if you don’t remember the URLs. Type your term into the location bar (aka the Awesome Bar) and the autocomplete function will include possible matches from your browsing history, bookmarked sites and open tabs. The Awesome Bar learns as you use it—over time, it adapts to your preferences and offers better-fitting matches. We’ve tweaked it to give you greater control over the results (including privacy settings) and increased performance so you find what you need even faster.

Tabs on Top

Tabs are above the Awesome Bar to make it easier to focus on the content of the sites you visit.

Your Awesome Bar now features one easy button to stop loading pages or reload pages.

Home Button

The Home button has been moved to the right side of the search-field.

App Tabs

Take sites you always keep open—like Web mail—off your tab bar and give them a permanent home in your browser.

Switch-to-Tab

As you’re opening a new tab or typing in the Awesome Bar, Firefox will check to see if you already have that site open. If you do, you’ll be directed to the existing tab so you don’t open a duplicate.

Organize your Tabs with Panorama

Too many tabs? Reclaim your browser from tab clutter! Panorama lets you drag and drop your tabs into manageable groups that you can organize, name and arrange in a fun and visual way. To get started with Panorama, simply select the Tab Groups icon when you customize your Navigation Toolbar or right click any tab to Move to Group.
